Who doesnt want gear restrictions removed?

[Ekesack]

I actually am fine with the race locked, class locked, and gender locked clothing. Although if they removed the restrictions it would not bother me that much (except the artifact type job gear). My main reason for preferring that restrictions remain in place is that removing them, in my opinion, would be another step towards making in-game choices have less value. The deities already don't do anything anymore and if everyone could wear all of the same things it would make the races and gender you picked have less meaning also. I think choices should have benefits and consequences and while you can change them with a fantasia, it has a literal cost attached after the first free one they give you.

The deities have no value specifically because it'd be arbitrary nonsense. Why should I be punished because I prefer my Hyur or Miqo over say, Roe? If anything, that would make your choices have less value on a personal level since now you're choosing based on stats not aesthetic preference. Putting that aside, I find it a tab silly glamour choices need to carry "consequences". That should be for gameplay, be it through story decisions or gameplay. Aesthetic is literally a subjective preference and nothing else.
